Oh, one time I actually did see a brother from Wichita State (are they closed too?). I was driving on I-10 in El Paso and he passed me on the freeway. I was in my old truck that had the Lambda Chi Alpha sticker on it and he honked and pointed to his cap. He had Kansas plates and a Wichita State sticker, so I assume that's where he was from. I always thought that was kind of cool.

There was never a Zeta at W U, Ks.

Only 3 in Kansas:

PSU-mine
KU
KSU.

Only 3 other schools that would be big enough for LXA:

W U
Emporia S Un
Fort Hayes S Un.

In Mo.

Mo S Un. closed Zeta
Mo. Western S Un-Zeta closed.
NWMo Un.
Mo.S Un.

Also in Missouri is Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State)
Only reason I know this is that my Big Brother became the manager of their campus bookstore when the name change happened. And yes it is named after brother Harry S. Truman

Hmmm... must have been a transfer student or there for grad school then. Poor guy.

Isn't there a Friends University of Central Kansas? I remember them at a camp I did in Springfield, MO back in 2000. I still can't get over a school actually having been named that.

I know there is or was a chapter at Southeast Missouri State. I was there for a camp in 2001 and was at a bar called Show Me's when I ran into a brother from the SEMO chapter named Jason. Nice guy. Then it turned out that two of the members of the squad from SEMO that I was working with were also Lambda Chis and I talked to them at a place called Ragsdale's. I still have two shirts they'd given me.

LOL. Yes there is a Friends Un and is in the middle of no where Ks.

Yes, there are Zetas at NE (Truman un), SE Mo (Cape Girudeax ?), and Culver-Stockton in NE Mo, Un Mo S & T (Rolla).

Of course St. Loius School of Pharacology (?).

Brother Ed Lenord is now President of Betheny College, another small school in mid Ks.

We're the 'St. Louis College of Pharmacy,' more commonly known as StLCoP...

and SEMO is in Cape Girardeau
"And knowing is half the battle!!"

As for myself:
StLCoP - St. Louis, MO (Pi-Lambda)
MST - Rolla, MO (Alpha-Delta)
SEMO - Cape Girardeau, MO (Delta-Phi)
Mizzou - Columbia, MO (Gamma-Kappa)

A short list, yes, but I hope to be able to go much further soon.

In ZAX,

This is weird, but suddenly I remembered where that guy I happened to see on the freeway was from. He passed me and pointed to his Lambda Chi Alpha cap, said hi and drove on. His back window sticker said "Weber State University". I have no idea why I suddenly remembered just now after so many years.

I have no idea where Weber State University is or what this guy was doing on I-10 in El Paso, but it was still pretty cool.

[HONKY660]

We've never had a chapter at Weber State, I believe we had an interest group there a while back but it didn't pan out.

[john1082]

Weber State is in Ogden, Utah. It would be a tough sell on that campus as the LDS church frowns on the Greek system as we know it. There may be some "Greek Letter" groups at BYU but I doubt that they are IFC groups. The University of Utah did host a Zeta at one time but they were closed at some point.
